Garden Insects

Yes, it is possible that many harmless insects such as beetles and flies resemble stinging yellow jackets. The yellow jacket-like sugar maple borer (Glycobius speciosus) may be considered among the more harmless of the harmful long-horned wood-boring beetles since its impact is more defective timber -- through larval galleries and twisted grain -- than dead wood. The yellow jacket hover fly (Milesia virginiensis) serves as a pollinator whose larval stages prey upon decaying animal and plant matter and upon aphids and thrips.

yes they do: if your sense of hearing is attuned to their frequency:traps soung like bubble wrap:erector group squishes:feet sound like rice krispies and ankles twang like guitar strings.

These, ouch, bugs, ouch, are called, ouch, water bugs. These bugs, ouch, are annoying, ouch, as you can see, ouch. The best way to, ouch, get rid of them is to, ouch, shock treat the pool. Then use either, ouch, a quaternary ammonium or an, ouch, polyquat algaecide. These, ouch, algaecides make the water, ouch, wetter (sounds crazy) and cause the, ouch bugs to drown, ouch. This is assuming you are using, ouch, chlorine as a sanitizer if you are using anything all bets are, ouch, off and a different procedure would apply but I would have to know what type of process you are using to advise you.

This depends on your use of the term range. As far as location range, yellow jackets can be found worldwide, but they are most common in the southeastern U.S.

Yes they can die if they are allergic, or have an anaphylactic reaction.

Some people can it depends on how many times you are stung and if you have alergeys to them. it can also depend on what kind it is.the African killer bee can kill you with one sting! where as a honey bee you'd probably have to be stung quite a few times.

The desirable characteristics of bee varieties suitable for honey production include being able to breed well, collect a large amount of honey and stay in a given beehive for long periods.

This is to help them stay cool on the inside.

Disease, freezing, injury, overheating, parasitism, poisoning (by pesticides), pollution, predation and starvation are the ways that yellow jacket queens dies. The insects in question (Dolichovespula spp, Vespula spp) count among the prey of such assiduous foragers as bears, hornets, raccoons, skunks and wasps. They will be vulnerable to the weather extremes of globally warmed climate change since the preferred range is 60 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit (15.55 to 21.11 degrees Celsius).

Of all the flying pests, gnats might be the most annoying. Though they're harmless, they hover and buzz around our heads, driving us crazy. Gnats are also known as vinegar flies or fruit flies because of their attraction to the smell of rotten food. This explains why they particularly enjoy the areas around drains and trash cans. Gnats are most commonly found around fruit, saturated house plants, compost piles, and other rotting, smelly food or plants. The problem is there's no such thing as one gnat. In fact, one gnat can lay two to three hundred eggs in its two to four month life span. If you frequently see gnats hovering around your sink drain or trash can, there's a good chance they're laying eggs inside your home. If you don't want gnats around, you have to cut off their food supply. This means fruits and vegetables have to go in the refrigerator or a bin the bugs can't penetrate. Make sure house plants stay damp, but not wet, and they must have the proper drainage. Gnats just love over-watered house plants. Empty trashcans regularly and don't allow rotting food to sit in the house. Make sure all trash receptacles and sink drains are cleaned thoroughly, and don't have any old rancid food stuck to them. Never let dirty dishes stand in the sink.

Bugs are small insects. The two main bugs that attack a cactus plant are mealybugs [Pseudococcus spp] and root mealybugs [Rhizoecus falcifer]. Mealybugs feed on the cactus plant's precious juices that are found in the above ground shoots. Root mealybugs feed on the water and dissolved nutrients that the cactus takes in through its below ground roots. Either way, Both sets of bugs are taking away the fluids that the cactus most needs to survive.

apply a Pre-emergent in the fall.

Head in the front, thorax in the middle and abdomen at the end are a ladybug's body plan. The insect in question (Coccinellidae family) has a set of two antennae and of two eyes to the front of the head and a protective covering called a pronotum, and perhaps a spot, to the back. The thorax and abdomen may be difficult to distinguish even though the sets of two elytra (protective wing cover), two wings, and six segmented legs will not.

If you don't want to kill the bees, just persuade them to go elsewhere, there are products that beekeepers use to clear bees from the honey frames before taking them. They are harmless to the bee (and humans) but the bees find them unpleasant and/or irritating. I don't want to advertise any particular product so I suggest you do an internet search for 'bee clearing'.

For different people, the time ammount will differ. The average ammount of people, say it will take about a month, to grow half an inch. If your hair grows faster, it will take a less ammount of time to have full grown bangs.

They have these really incomparable feeling when you feel it and it tickles you. :D (wild guess)

No, ultrasonic mosquito repellers do not work. Extensive tests have been run on them. The facts is, mosquitoes don't even have ears. ... i agree they dont work but mosquitoes can defenetly hear. they dont have ears as such but they have complex hearing organs.

Be sure they are bees first! Bees have fat round bodies with golden color to the body and circular dark stripes. If this is the case then call a beekeeper and they will use their smoke cans to stun the bees so they can take them away along with the hive (if at all possible.) Bees are becoming almost extinct in the U.S. and Canada and beekeepers are finding hives full of dead bees. Save the bees! If this so called bee has a longated body, golden in color or sometimes dark and may have a small stripe you are probably looking at a hornet or a wasp and they do sting! They will also swarm a person so it's to your best advantage to get an Environmentally conscious Exterminator in to get rid of them. DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS YOURSELF!

The Audubon Society Handbook for Butterfly Watchers, The Butterfly Book, Caterpillars in the Field and Garden, A Field Guide to the Butterflies, and Garden Butterflies of North America are non-fiction resources about butterflies. The above-mentioned resources focus upon North American even though some lepidopterans, such as the monarch and the mourning cloak, will be familiar strays and vagrants to butterfly-watchers elsewhere. The National Audubon Society and the National Wildlife Federation maintain websites whose non-fiction resources include images and information on butterflies.

Bear's or Wild garlic [Allium ursinum] is the host plant for the Durham Tinea [Acrolepiopsis betulella] caterpillar. The larval stage of the adult, false diamondback moth favors the plant's flowers and seedheads. But the plant serves as a food source to just the one generation that results from the moth's egg-laying every July. The insect's native range is central and western Europe.

They mean you've lived an amazing life

The stagnant water resulting from an improperly working a/c or hvac unit can draw gnats. They do not 'form them or create them' but act as a food source for them and are very attractive breeding and feeding grounds.

yes it does, i used it before

Most aromatic herbs help repel garden pests since the volatile oils that they give off interfere with the chemical sensors insects use to locate host plants. Lemon basil, sage and summer savory respectively help repel white flies, cabbage worms and cucumber and squash beetles.

Aphids, black vine weevils, fungus gnats, mealybugs, and scale are the kinds of bugs that eat a sedum plant. Gnats and larval weevils focus upon the roots whereas the adult weevils chew upon foliage. Aphids, mealybugs, and scale prey upon foliage and stems to remove the plant's internal, life-sustaining sap.
